1st Quarter 2017 Results

APX Group Holdings, Inc. (the ”Company”, “Vivint”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) obtained the industry, market and competitive position data included in this presentation from its estimates and research as well as from industry publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Industry publication studies and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been

• btained from sources believed to be reliable but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. While APX Group, Inc. believes that each of the

publications, studies and surveys is reliable, We have not independently verified industry, market and competitive position data from third-party sources. While we believe our internal business research is reliable and the market definitions are appropriate, neither such research nor these definitions have been verified by any independent sources. Accordingly, you should not place undue weight on the industry and market share data in this presentation. This presentation includes forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements related to the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements convey the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. All statements contained in this presentation other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking

• statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these

forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of this date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed in “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10K, and other reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: (1) risks of the security and smart home industry, including risks of and publicity surrounding the sales, subscriber origination and retention process; (2) the highly competitive nature of the security and smart home industry and product introductions and promotional activity by our competitors; (3) litigation, complaints or adverse publicity; (4) the impact of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences, local, regional, and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; (5) adverse publicity and product liability claims; (6) increases and/or decreases in utility and other energy costs, increased costs related to utility or governmental requirements; (7) cost increases or shortages in security and smart home technology products or components; and (8) the introduction of unsuccessful new products and services; (9) privacy and data protection laws, privacy or data breaches, or the loss of data; and (10) the impact to our business, results of operations, financial condition, regulatory compliance and customer experience of the Vivint Flex Pay plan. In addition, the origination and retention of new subscribers will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, market availability, subscriber interest, the availability of suitable components, the negotiation of acceptable contract terms with subscribers, local permitting, licensing and regulatory compliance, and our ability to manage anticipated expansion and to hire, train and retain personnel, the financial viability of subscribers and general economic conditions. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this presentation are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. These risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. We disclaim any obligations to and do not intend to update the above list or to announce publicly the results of any revisions to any of the forward- looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

non-GAAP financial measures

This presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA which is a supplemental measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide useful information about the flexibility we have under our covenants to investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies since these groups have historically used EBITDA-related measures in

• ur industry, along with other measures, to estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions, and to evaluate a company’s ability to meet its debt service requirements.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Adjusted EBITDA also eliminates the effects of interest rates and changes in capitalization which management believes may not necessarily be indicative of a company’s underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by us to measure covenant compliance under the indenture governing our senior secured notes, the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes and the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. See Annex A of this presentation for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the Company, which we believe is the most closely comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Excludes loan amortization costs that are included in interest expense iii. Reflects subscriber acquisition costs that are expensed as incurred because they are not directly related to the acquisition of specific subscribers. Certain other industry participants purchase subscribers through subscriber contract purchases, and as a result, may capitalize the full cost to purchase these subscribers contracts, as compared to our organic generation of new subscribers, which requires us to expense a portion of our subscriber acquisition costs under GAAP. iv.

certain definitions

Total Subscribers - The aggregate number of active smart home and security subscribers at the end of a given period. Monthly Revenue per User ("RPU") - The recurring monthly revenue billed to a smart home and security subscriber. Total RPU - The aggregate RPU billed to all smart home and security subscribers. Average RPU ("ARPU") - The total RPU divided by total subscribers. Average Revenue per New User ("ARPNU") - The aggregate RPU for new subscribers originated during a period divided by the number of new subscribers originated during such period. Attrition - The aggregate number of canceled smart home and security subscribers during a period divided by the monthly weighted average number of total smart home and security subscribers for such period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance with the terms of their contract, are terminated by us or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible (when at least four monthly billings become past due). Sales of contracts to third parties, certain moves and takeovers are excluded from the attrition calculation. Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs - The direct and indirect costs to create a new smart home and security subscriber. These include commissions, equipment, installation, marketing and other allocations (general and administrative and overhead); less activation fees, installation fees and upsell revenue. These costs exclude residuals and long- term equity expenses associated with the direct-to-home sales channel. Net Subscriber Acquisition Cost Multiple - The total net subscriber acquisition costs, divided by the number of new subscribers originated, and then divided by the ARPNU. Net Service Cost per Subscriber- The total service costs for the period, including monitoring, customer service, field service and other allocations (general and administrative and overhead) costs, less total service revenue for the period divided by total subscribers. Net Service Margin - The ARPU for the period less net service costs divided by the ARPU for the period.
